Hotel or Serviced Apartment?

9 Dec 2013 Abodebed Ltd

This is a question many people ask themselves when booking both short and long term accommodation. Of course, when they weigh up the pros and cons of the “home from home” concept of renting a serviced apartment they often find they’re struggling to find anything they dislike! Why even consider a hotel room? How could a luxury apartment with the flexibility of coming and going as you wish, not be a good idea?

No rules to remember like when’s breakfast or dinner served? Even better not only can you choose when you want to eat but you can choose what you eat. With Abodebed apartments you’ll find a range of shops nearby so you simply stock up with everyone’s favourites ensuring that what you need is in the fridge or the freezer. The kitchens are so well-equipped cooking can be as easy or complicated as you want it to be.

Too tired to cook but don’t want to go out or, even worse, dress up to go out or make it to the hotel dining room? Well, at a hotel there is always the limited and over-priced room service menu but in a serviced apartment there’ll be a host of take-aways nearby with a delivery service, simply login to the WiFi and search on JustEat – one website and you’ll find a range of cuisines to choose from without venturing beyond your front door. Meanwhile you can pop on the washing machine, and sit down and relax for the evening.

And if you don’t want to sit at a dining table there’s always the apartment’s lounge with a comfy sofa, unlike the hotel bedroom where you prop the room service tray on your lap or, if you’re lucky and there’s two of you, there might be two hard chairs to sit on but more often than not there’s just the one chair in a standard hotel room, not ideal is it?

Aren’t hotels also always looking to charge you that little bit extra? A good example is it’s highly likely that the car parking is chargeable; plus for that unnecessary “extra” on your bill you often have to hike to the furthest end of the car park. It’s not like that at Abodebed. We offer all our clients free car parking, just take the lift and you’ll find your car easily – how good is that?

Yes, there are differences between hotels and serviced apartments but those differences are all good which explains the growth in demand for hiring apartments on short- or long-term lets. Abodebed offer serviced apartments in Hemel Hempstead near London – why not check availability now?
